DGHS dedicates hospital for doctors, health workers following ultimatum
Health
After doctors gave a 72-hour ultimatum, the government has specified Sheikh Russel Gastro Liver Institute & Hospital for the treatment of doctors and health workers.
The Health Directorate said, their falling sick may affect Covid-19 treatment.
Earlier on Saturday, Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) held the health ministry squarely responsible for the fast spreading of Covid-19 among health workers.
In a letter to the Health Minister Zahid Malique, the doctors' body said, supply of low quality masks, hastily and unscientifically built intensive care units and inadequate training of doctors are responsible for health workers being infected.
The letter concludes with a request to the minister to arrange a dedicated hospital for doctors within the next 72 hours.
